We have experienced exactly what you describe when we were pitching our game "8" a few years ago. The publishers would always be out to lunch or simply not respond at all. This is extremely frustrating for developers as we see working with a publisher as a collaboration. But, as you point out, this is not how they see it. It's a pity, though. Games could be a lot better and more profitable if publishers and developers would work together more. Thank you, Dan, for clearing that up.
